Don't see what McClaren has to lose here if he just goes for it with some attacking subs. We're bottom anyway...

We'll now have a sending off somewhere, as the players become increasingly frantic...

I think I've had enough of this now...

I guess this is where we find out if we have another Pardew, or something different...

We were bottom of the league under Pardew at this point last season weren't we?

Well, I thought we'd be down by more than 1-0 by half time, so this isn't insurmountable. Definitely need a shake up at half time though.

Reckon Janmaat has been our best player so far personally... not that he's been great.

We're dominating possession but we just can't do anything with it. Do agree that Sissoko in centre and Perez on wing would make us more aggressive.

Needless foul and booking by Colback... he gets one of those every game.

What in fuck was Haidara doing with a shot from there...

Anita and Colback worked against Man Utd and Southampton tbf. Just not really a solution for when you actually want to win the game.

Fair play, it does look like this game might well prove you right...

Ah well. I don't think we're really at WHam's level this season... I think a slow crawl to 14th is on the cards.

I still think they've played well... who is it that people think we're sidelining for them? Could have Sissoko in the middle and Aarons playing I guess, but they've really not been bad.

Not a bad line up, and some decent options on the bench. Not sure how much longer de Jong is going to put up with a subs role though...

...Shit, I knew it.

I am hugely encouraged by your optimism, actually. Fair enough. A win it is.

Not confident really, but I think this is the first game where, should we lose, it'll raise some concerns for me about the direction the season is heading in.

Is that the best they've got? Seriously? How can they criticise him for his attempts to reconcile ME conflict when the Tories are supporting the genocidal Israel?

I accept your surrender

Sounds like something that would happen to us under Pardew.

In truth I just read it in the min-by-min in the Guardian. He weakened his midfield with a couple of subs and lost total control of the game. Even so, Leicester probably deserve a bit of credit here, it wasn't all Tim.

You wanted evidence that his views are feasible. I just gave you it. I assume he now has your vote?

Krugman also won a Nobel prize for Economics. Do you see what utter balls you're talking here? I agree on the wider point about Corbyn not being electable. But the reason for that is because most people are brainwashed into thinking that his views on the economy, despite being endorsed by some of the leading economics thinkers in the whole fucking world, are completely ridiculous. Do you see how your view on this economic policy being unfeasible and idealistic is now wrong? Or do you consider yourself the intellectual equal of the above academics? Key point - I'm not saying you have to think that his view is right, as there are counter arguments, but his view sure as shit isn't idealistic nonsense.
